See the section on Advertising/Linking here (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=news;action=display;num=1133174775). Please note that you should infer from that that contacting members directly (through Private or Instant Messages) is not appropriate.

Whoa! I totally get the PM thing. But do you really intend to regulate what I do or don't say to others in Yahoo or AIM?

That's not quite what's trying to be said. We don't want people wandering onto the boards and simply using it as a list of AIM screennames or e-mail addresses to randomly spam people with recruitments or advertisements.

That makes sense. But the way I read Ray's post, I'd get in trouble if I saw somebody around here who I thought would enjoy Nifty and IMed them about it. Hence the "whoa." ;)
